Image is way too small. Care to explain it, or get something larger.

Unfortunately, it's the largest size (of a picture, of course) that I've found. It still leaves many questions opened.

As for the second part I have to disagree. The Nords use to practice magic but for one reason or another it fell into disfavor. Same with Redguards, though with them I think we have a good reason as to why they turned from it. Both groups turned from it for cultural reasons.

I just want to stress the point that culture plays a large part here. If Certain "Races" were predisposed to fight a certain way then wouldn't all mer favor magic since that's what their ancestors fought with? When looking at the lore we see that is clearly not the case.

Sure, culture, family, and life experience all play a role. But that doesn't mean a Redguard's love of adventure and fighting is "all cultural stuff" as you said earlier. It may very well be partially inherited.

Your magic argument seems kinda nonsensical to me.

Yokuda is in the bones and soul of the Yoku's Children. The sword is in their blood. Of course, not every Redguard fights with a sword and loves adventure, but that's because we're taking a deep thing and applying it to a surface issue. The depth of who the Redguards are is more than a love of adventure and blades. It's a layer of barely-conquered pessimism simmering under the surface of men and women who tend towards a direct approach to things on a mythic level. There's a thing and there's a god-app for that. Nords are more than violence, and Atmora shows it. It is brutal and cold and stark but also strangely beautiful and fond and holds its own to a higher honor. It's more than axes and sailing.
